Welcome to the Legion's cavalry page!

As of 6/21/98, Thomas' North Carolina Legion has reactivated the
cavalry branch of her organization. At this time we are accepting
any interested person(s) who wish to do dismounted cavalry. Mounted
persons wishing to join the Legion with their mount need to contact
the Commanding Officer and inform him of their intent. All members
of this branch are expected to know the full infantry drill as set
down by Hardee's and are expected to be proficient in all aspects
of infantry tactics and have full uniforms and equipments for such.
We wil provide the training needed for dismounted cavalry.
For those who wish to join, Welcome to the Legion!
